"You can check my homework now! I've finished it. Isn't that great?"
Mei Ya wiped her nose and handed the homework book to Mei Fang.
Mei Fang frowned as he reviewed the homework, then looked up at Mei Ya:
"Did you do this yourself?"
"Of course!"
Mei Ya remained calm and collected.
However, Xia Yuan beside her was already turning her head away guiltily.
"Let me test you... What is 3 times 7?"
"Um……"
Mei Ya frowned and groaned, while Xia Yuan whispered to her, "Mantra, mantra!"
"Oh, right... one plus one equals one, two plus three equals six, three plus three equals nine, four plus five equals twenty, three plus five equals fifteen, three plus six equals twenty-eight, three plus seven... three plus seven..."
Meiya shouted loudly, "I will definitely not make a mistake this time, no matter what!"
Snapped!
Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan making a gesture of holding his forehead.
"Put your palms out! I'm going to spank you! You asked Sister Yuanyuan to help you with your homework, right? Hmm?"
Mei Fang picked up the ruler beside her and prepared to teach this naughty sister a lesson.
"Wuwu, I won't dare to do it again, brother, please forgive me. I will do my homework well next time. Wuwu——"
At this time, Xia Yuan was also persuading: "Ah Fang, you can't punish such a young child! It's normal for Xiaoya to be playful at such a young age... She will know how to study next time..."
"Ah? How dare you say that? How dare you lead my sister astray? Stretch out your hands! Take off your gloves!"
Xia Yuan knew that he was in the wrong first, so he could only stand up straight and stretched out his little hands with grievance, allowing Mei Fang to hit him lightly with the board three times.
"Brother, you are so biased... You hit me so hard, but you hit Sister Yuanyuan so lightly... Humph, I don't like you anymore!"
"If I don't like you, can I find another brother? It hurts more when I hit you because I'm your brother. We are a family, and family members can hit each other so hard."
"Does that mean Sister Yuanyuan is an outsider? You hit her so lightly!"
Mei Ya cried and said to Xia Yuan, "Sister Yuanyuan, please don't become my brother's wife in the future. He will be mean to his family members. What a loser!"
"Uh-huh……"
The aggrieved Xia Yuan rubbed her slapped palm and nodded, "Sister Yuanyuan knows!"
"Wow?"
Mei Ya switched from crying to her usual self in a second. She pulled Xia Yuan's arm and whispered, "Sister Yuan Yuan, don't take it too seriously. Xiao Ya was just joking. It didn't hurt when my brother hit me. I just yelled a few times. You can still be his wife."
“Is that so…”
Xia Yuan pulled her hair and looked away, somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh right...it's almost two o'clock. Why hasn't Youxi come over today? We agreed to play Monopoly together!"
"Then I'll call and ask."
Mei Fang walked towards the direction of his own phone.
Chapter 080 Youxi's Whereabouts
In fact, with the assets in Mei Fang's account, it is more than enough to buy a mobile phone now. However, mobile phones are not easy to hide, and it will be very troublesome if his mother finds out and asks about it; secondly, he doesn't have anyone to contact.
As for communicating with Xia Yuanlin and Youxi, they usually either call the landline or go to their homes. Their homes are so close that it is always convenient to meet. As for the mobile phone, Mei Fang still wants to wait until everyone has this plan before considering buying one.
Mei Fang dialed Lin Youxi's home number, but there was only a busy tone on the other end of the line.
"Can't get through?"
Xia Yuan tilted his head and said, "Could it be that Youxi has guests at home and doesn't have time to answer the phone? My family is very busy during the New Year."
"I'm not sure, let's try again later..."
As soon as Mei Fang finished speaking, the phone he had just put down started ringing.
"Hello... is that you? Oh... it's Teacher Yu."
Mei Fang often confused the way to address Xia Yuan's mother, switching back and forth between Aunt Xia, Aunt Yu, and Teacher Yu. Finally, Xia Yuan's mother decided to let Mei Fang call her Teacher Yu, which was more convenient.
"Mei Fang, is our Yuanyuan at your house now?"
"Yes... I asked her to answer the phone for you."
"No need, just ask Yuanyuan to come back soon. Her grandma is back today."
Xia Yuan heard her mother's voice from afar on the phone, and quickly stood up and took the phone from Mei Fang:
"Grandma? Did she come back alone? Shouldn't Dad pick her up tomorrow?"
"It is said that she came back in her sister's car, and she said she wanted to give you a surprise..."
"Grandma's little sisters..."
Xia Yuan looked stunned, exchanged a few words with his mother and hung up the phone.
"My grandma is back. I can't play with you today."
"Oh it's all right."
While Xia Yuan was packing up the hat, scarf, gloves and bags that she had left at Mei Fang's house, she said to Mei Fang, "Call You Xi later to ask about her, or go to her house directly. If you have any questions, just call me. I'll be home then."
"Brother!"
Mei Ya tugged at Mei Fang's arm and muttered, "Can I go to Sister Yuanyuan's house to play?"
"Yuanyuan has guests at home, why are you causing trouble..."
"Well, I don't mind."
Xia Yuan extended his hand to Mei Ya and said, "Since you have finished your homework, if you are too bored at home, you can come to my house to play. We should have a lot of relatives coming today, including two brothers and sisters who are slightly younger than you."
"I'm going, I'm going! I love playing with children the most! I want to let them appreciate the mysteries of science!"
Meiya also shouted the slogan of her favorite children's program, gesticulating as she shouted: "Science Bubbles, use your hands and brain, observe carefully, and explore the mysteries!"
Mei Fang knocked on his sister's head, "You can go if you want, but you can't cause trouble for Sister Yuanyuan. Don't touch things at Sister Yuanyuan's house. It will embarrass our Mei family, understand?"
Mei Ya was instilled with the impression that her sister Yuanyuan's family was very rich since she was a child, but she had never been to Xia Yuan's house. After hearing Mei Fang's warning, she immediately became serious, "Xiao Ya understands! Dad also told me that the things in Yuanyuan's house are very expensive. Even if Xiao Ya is sold, they can't afford the compensation."
"Ah Fang, please don't exaggerate about our family!"
Mei Fang was happy to let Xia Yuan help him take care of his sister so that he would have more time to tackle the difficulties of the Golang language.
In his previous life, he was not a programming expert. He just roughly knew what language his company's programs used.
Thinking about it now, the difference between golang in 09 and 22 may be very big. At least it is quite difficult and thankless to learn it now.
Mei Fang had just turned on the computer when he suddenly became concerned about Lin Youxi.
Normally, he would either come to my house very quickly, or call me if he didn't come...
Or... should we go directly to Lin Youxi's house?
It’s not far anyway.
After making up his mind, Mei Fang acted quickly, changed his boots and went out to find Lin Youxi at her house.
In the small yard of Lin Youxi's house, there was a shabby motorcycle, a brand new black electric car, and a pink bicycle.
Is it true that there are guests at home?
Mei Fang cleared his throat and seeing that there was no one around, he knocked on the door of the yard and called out Lin Youxi's name.
In 08, when there was no contact information, people would just call to find someone. This is actually what primary school students love to do, and it feels quite embarrassing.
At this moment, the door of Lin Youxi's house opened, and out came Lin's father Lin Guochuan.
"Mei Fang...are you here to play with You Xi?"
Mei Fang nodded, "We made an appointment to play together today. I called Youxi just now but no one answered."
"Ah? Is that so... There must be something wrong with the phone line. We didn't hear any sound."
"Youxi isn't home?"
"She just went out. Maybe she went to look for you. Didn't you meet her on the road?"
"Hmm... No, I'll go back and take a look."
"If you see her, please tell her... Well, Dad will respect her wishes, but I hope she can have a good talk with me."
Respect...her wishes?
Mei Fang was about to ask what was behind this when a woman in her mid-thirties appeared behind Lin Guochuan. She gave a very gentle initial impression, a common image of a girl next door, but with bright and beautiful eyes. However, her nasolabial folds seemed a bit deep, and her hands were always placed in front of her body, giving off an indescribable sense of embarrassment and sadness.
Mei Fang didn't think much about it or ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Hello, Auntie."
The aunt seemed a little surprised, but also nodded to Mei Fang.
"Is this child a friend of Youxi?"
"Well... he is Youxi's best friend. His name is Mei Fang. He often plays with Youxi."
"That's it..."
"Then, Uncle Lin, I will go back to look for Youxi."
"Well, okay, please."
call……
After leaving Lin Youxi's house, Mei Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
He was an adult after all, and he knew all the reasons after hearing such a scene and such words.
I didn't expect Uncle Lin to remarry at this time.
I don’t know whether Lin Youxi experienced these things in her previous life, and whether she finally accepted the existence of such a stepmother.
However, based on what Mei Fang knew about Lin Youxi in this life, he knew that she would never accept it.
